Poland boss hails Bednarek-Kiwior duo at Porto: "All going well" | OneFootball

Jakub Kiwior and Jan Bednarek, the new defensive duo for FC Porto, are also the center-backs for the Polish national team. The Polish coach, Jan Urban, expressed his satisfaction with the players' development.

“Everything changes very quickly in football, as quickly as the situation of Bednarek and Kiwior. Kiwior was playing at a big club, but wanted more minutes. Janek [Bednarek] was in a similar situation at Southampton. Suddenly, they are playing at a strong club [FC Porto]. They play a lot and together. Everything is going well for them. That’s football,” Jan Urban began.

“It’s well known that when we play on the same team, we get to know each other better. In the national team itself, these contacts are rare, so this can only help us,” concluded the Polish coach.

During this international break, Poland will play a friendly against New Zealand and a World Cup 2026 qualifier against Lithuania. The two defenders have played a total of 450 minutes together for FC Porto and, since then, the Dragons have not conceded a single goal.
